Baan Silapin
The wooden house, over 200 years old and lovingly restored by its owner Khun Chumpol Akkapantanon, sits at the heart of a small community of rustic shophouses which are connected by a wooden walkway that follows the edge of the klong (canal).
Apart from long-tail boats frequently whizzing by – sometimes stopping to sell desserts and tempting snacks – and the crowds of curious locals who turn up at the weekends, the neighbourhood is generally much quieter (and the pace of life much slower) than the bustling territory across the river. And it’s lovely.
